Lausanne. Dec. 23. — Christmas
threatens t be a storm this time at
the Lausanne Near Fast conference.
'Thursday w s a bad day. Today wa*
I worse. A temper which did not seem
to harmonize with the usual spirit of
I the Yuletide pervaded today's session
of the sub-commissk n on minorities.
I Eff rts were made to get Dr. Riza
j N' r Hey. the se. olid Turkish delegate,
to agree to the exemption of the
Christian minorities in Turkey, from
military service But he refused flatly,
and declined to give any reason.
Riza Nur Bey nlso refused to agree
to the preservation of Christian cem-
eteries in Turkey. This caused anuch
surprise among the other represent?
tives, as the Turks ordinarily are ex
tremely careful to protect all ceme
terles.
The allies insisted upon consider-
ation of the clause providing that tht
Turks must respect the work done un
dor the League of Nations in recover
ing and restoring to their families
Christian w men and children who
were seized and Islamized by the
^re<it war. The Turks also declined
to agree to this provision and the
sub-commission ended the session
The Turkish delegation has received
instructions from Angora that no
agreements are to be made at the
Lausanne conference on economic
questions. This has created dis-satis-
faction among the allies', especially the
French.
Control of the straits still „s being
considered in private sessions.

FOSSIL TUSKS APPEAR-
ING ON IVORY MARKET
London, Dec. 26.—The latest addi-
ti n to the Natural History Depart-
ment of the British Museum is the
skull and tusks of a Slberion main-
Oth, the first ever brought int > west-
ern Europe. The skull was dug out < *
the ice of the Siberian islands of th
| Arctic. Preserved as It was in e ld
-torage through countless ages, it i*
remarkably fresh, oven t . th" frag-
ments of skin still attached to trie
great jaws.
IIy examining the teeth, which are
in excellent condition and about six
Inches in diameter, experts have es-
tablished that they belong to a full
grown female mammoth. The bones
of the head are snow white in con
trust to the usual fossil bones, which
are stained brown or black.
The tusks are 12 feet long, and the
ivory is in perfect condition Their
vain ■ as ivory is placed at fl.aOO.
Large quantities of fossilized Ivory,
dug up in various parts rt Siberia, are
now coming to Engand for sale. A
ship load of these remains arrived
I recently and was sold for prices
| higher than paid for Indian ivory
tusks
The supply of such ivory, however,
is limited and It will not have any
material effect on the market.
